Another Field for Women.
from the Chicap0 Herald


There is very clever lady real estate
agent in this city. She is disturbing
her male competitors almost as much as
that other bright lady, the insurance
agent, who, when attacked for doing
business for an unlisted company, turned
Savageiy upon her ungallant aSsailantS
and auieted them by threatening to
hoist them with their own petard.
This lady real estate agent, Mrs.
Case, makes a speciality of furnished
houses, and, somewhat after the
fashion of that cleverest of all Chicago
business women, Mrs. Harriet Hubbard
Aver, turns her large society acquaint-
ance to very profitable use. To find
good tenant for handsome home all
furnished is difficult and delicate
duty. The male agent in his office is
little fitted to perform it satisfactorily.
This lady real estate agent does her
business in the parlorS of her patrons
finds from the gossip among the fash
lonable ladies of her acquaintance the
desirable people in town. H. and nd
not only picks up business dur
ing this boudoir gossip but often
actually closes it. Mrs. Cases idea is
not only novel one but looks sensible
and practicable. Women really rent
the homes, especially the furnished
homes. The very best person to solicit
the business ought to be woman with
a fashionable acquaintance, and the
very best place the parlors of the
danes who will preside over the new
home when it is accepted. At any rate,
the lady real estate agent is a success,
as big success almost as the lady in
Surance agent, and the latter is the best
known woman underwater in the
country.

A GIRLS STRANGE STORY.

She Says She Was Seized on the
81 Street and Run Away With i'm a
j Cab.
~ A queer story was told to the police
of the Nineteenth precinct last night by
Sarah Honold, seventeen years, of No. 433
West Thirty-ninth street, says the New
York World. She says that while walking
and Sixth avenues, Thursday night, be-
tween and 10 O'clock, she was ap-
preached by well-dressed man, who
asked her it she would take ride in a
cab. She said mo-" and the man seized
her by the arm and forced her ina cab
which stood near by. Another man
sprang upon the box and drove rapidly
along Forty second street and up Eighth
avenue to Central Park. On the way up
Sarah says the man assaulted her,
and when the cab stopped at the park
the driver of the cab also assaulted her,
Then they drove to a saloon on the
corner of FOrty-eighth street and Eighth
avenue, where they alighted. She was
taken in the saloon and left there, the
driver and the strange man driving
away. She stayed there till midnight,
and that while in the saloon two other
men assaulted her. About midnight
the man she had driven up to the park
with returned and took her to house
at No. 224 West FOrty-seventh street,
where she stayed all night. Friday
morning she returned home and went to
work as usual at No. 351 West Forty
seventh street, where she was employed
as servant and nurse girl.
During the day she met Mrs. Day,
wife of janitor in charge of flats in the
neighborhood, and told her what had
occurred on Thursday night. Mrs. Day
told her husband and he had talk with
Sarah, in which he advised her to stay
away from the man with whom she had
an appointment last night.
Arrangements, however, were made
to have her meet the man, and an officer
from the Nineteenth precinct was near
at hand. She met the man at the corner
of Fifth avenue and Forty-SecOnd street,
and he was arrested. At the station
house the prisoner gave his name as
James j. Fettretch. of No. 400 Sixth
avenue. He denied the girls charge,
but was locked up to await examination
on charge of abduction.
Agent Stocking, of of S. P. G. c., was
notified and took charge of the girl.
Sarah is a blonde, not particularly hand
some, but has rather attractive face
and figure. Her father is dead, and her
mother, who is an opera singer with the
Casino Company, she has not seen for

cit didn't do much of the acting. That
part of the business was confined princi-
pally to my wife and myself. Part of
the time we were both on the stage at
once. Then at other periods of that hor-
rible night we took turns single before
the footlights. I'll tell you about it. l

self, up to that experience, was
my mind. that would see the

sensible woman, does not eat onions.
1t takes more than fool newspaper
fallacy to capture her superior intellect.
After the lights had been extinguished,
and had stretched myself out on my
back, I soon sank into the peacefuleSt,
infantest Slumber you ever read about.
The onions were getting in their work
in great shape.

The Dreary Knitted Shawl.

London Truth says:
wonder if Venus herself could have
looked well in a knitted shawl. I will
not say respectable" because am not
absolutely certain that Venus was
very correct person, and it must be adj
mitted that about some of the varieties
of the knitted shawl there is quite har-
rowing responsibility ;but do not think
that there are more than a hundred
women in England who could look like
gentlewOmen in one of those wide
meShed horrors of cardinal red, pale
blue, or, worse than all, white, with
mauve border. The cloud-fne Shetland
ones are often quite beautiful of texture,
and are becoming enough when not put
on with one corner Straying sideways
down the back, and there are some
finely knitted Irish shawls that closely
emulate the Shetland; but the
ordinary WRAP" as seen in its
dreadful thousands at our seaside
places, is as hideous as it is probably
comfortable. Thrice washed it looks,
yet seldom clean, and it's fringes are
frayed out and of a truly ragged turn of
mind; in fact. the great majority of these
knitted shawls seem as though they had
had the mango very badly, and were Just
OH the verge of having some other
disease equally disfguring.
If Helen. of Troy, had worn knitted
wrap when Paris first saw her there
would have been no Trojan war.

A Pig Offends the Gar.


A witty clown, by name Durow, has
just been compelled to leave st. Peters
burg for carrying jokes too far. He was
giving a performance with pig trained
to various feats. At the mans command
the animal took up from the ground
a number of Russian coins, including
imperial and small silver and copper
coins. When, however, some rouble
notes were thrown down, the pig re-
fused to pick them up, even though
whipped. Great amusement was caused
by this discriminating act, and it was
intensified as voice called from the
gallery to the clown, You blockhead,
if the finance minister could not raise
the paper rouble in four months, how
can you expect pig to do it?'' Though
a favOrite with st. Petersburg. aud
fences, the clown received orders to
leave the city the following day.

A TwELvE-YEAR OLD RACER
ID. j. Mccarthy, of San Francisco,
Starts Out With a Wonderful

Starts Out With a Wonderful
Splurge.
Here is a little man twelve years old,
probably the youngest and wealthiest
juvenile race-hOrSe owner in the world,
writes the Saratoga correspondent of
the Troy Times. His name is D. j.
Mccarthy, of San Francisco. Although
he wears knee-breeches and roundabout
jacket, he sports mans season badge
from his button-nole.
His father, who is here with him,
gave the boy two years ago a pair of
Shetland ponies and wagon, paying
S405 for the outfit, with which to amuse
himself outside of school hours, ON Sat
urdays and during school vacations.
The young fellow greatly enjoyed his
outfit, which was feature of the drives
through the park and down the beach to
the Cliff house.
Last year the youth sought higher
grade of hOrSefleSh. and taking fancy
to young runner, traded his Shetland
pony equipage for it, receiving $3.50 to
boot. The horse obtained is G.. FL. Todd,
winner of the Derby at Chicago this
month, by which Master Mccarthy won
about $4,000. The young man took
$4,000 of this money and bought Todd's
brother, which young horse has given
evidence of great speed and won a num-
Der of minor local events. The rest of
the money he put in the bank.
Master Todd can not only talk turf
equal to some of the veterans, but is a
good scholar for one of his age, and
talks very ably on the resources and
growth of California. etc.

paper files, and John Trusts narrative
are in perfect accord. but do
not intend that it shall rest on my
voucher, and | distinctly avow that if
proofs of its credibility are not found in
the narrative itself, they are found no
where else''
John Trusts narrative is, think, a
fiction, built upon the mystery of the
Female Stranger, but it is quite plaus-
ible one, and adds greatly to the inter
est of the matter and it's fascination. In
this story the Female Stranger is
Blanche FOrden, and the hero meets her
of her, and it will be observed it does
not fully accord with the usually re-
ceived idea of her appearance by the
Alexandria and Virginia people gener-
ally:
Stately, yet graceful, her queenly
form rose from the undulation which
acknowledged my greeting. She
seemed indeed the mould of form, the
union of elegance and grace before I'M
dreamed of. Her eye, diamond when
she listened, flashed like a sword when
she spoke, and Grecian nose, perfectly
feminine in the Softness of its outline,
relieved the masculine swelling of the
upper lip and made womanly the entire
contour OF her face. Her hair lay in its
raven brilliancy as if it had been CHS
elled upon her noble forehead. On
such features repose wore an air of
command and emotion took stateliness."
The husband in this narrative was a
DR.. Wroe, who possessed clairvOyant
powers, and spirited Miss-or Lady
Forden away from her lover, John
Trust, and brought her to Alexandria.
She declared that she loved John Trust,
and that the marriage which had taken
place on the vessel was null, as she was
incapable of self control, but as she was
dying of a broken heart she whispered
to Wroe that she had learned to love
him for his devotion and manliness, and
her last word was my husband" the

stories. Every person born and reared
in or near Alexandria has heard the
story told with all sorts of engagements
and embroideries by mothers and nurses
and the old gossips of the public inns
and places where spirits are retailed.
Between the long sermon and the short
sermon for over seventy years the

Under the cedars and oaks in the old
st. Paul churchyard of Alexandria is
the grave; Relic-hunters have made
sad inroads upon the ornamertations,
and the iron railing that once inclosed
the tomb has entirely disappeared.
Lately the city has taken in charge the
care of this famous tomb, and it is now
well kept and guarded.
The tombstone is an eight-by-five mar

deliberately white marble pillars.
Upon the tablet is this inscription:

THE WEARY WORLD.

Far down the winding lane of years
The weary world is slowly vending;
Grim walls of fate and gates of tears
To trembling prayers no answer sending.
Yet through it all sweet spirits CALL
Through lonely days of grief and aching:
Hopes roses blossom ON the WALL
To keep the worlds great heart from
breaking"
Across the sobbing sea of doom
The weary world is slowly drifting;
Eyes wet with tears pierce through the
gloom,
Yet see no signs of rest or rifting:
Still, angels bright, from some far height,
Repeat through hours of weary waking:
Hopes starlight shines through darkest
night,
To keep the world great heart from break
ing"
Ger troubled waves, by paths of rue,
Faint souls press toward the land of par
don,
Burdened with crosses,.w with dew
From chill Gethsemane's lone garden.
Yet to and fro now loud, now low,
A voice is sweetest music making
Hope, singing on, through pain and woe,
To keep the world great heart from break
ing.
